Zimbabwe’s Agriculture Ministry said Friday that it was importing 150,000 tons of corn, the nation’s staple food, from neighboring South Africa to avert a food crisis as millions face starvation. Deputy Agriculture Minister Davis Marapira said Friday that the government had so far received 300 tons, which will be distributed to the neediest parts of the country, state news media reported. The United Nations estimates that at least 2.2 million Zimbabweans will need food assistance before the next harvest in April. Zimbabwe managed to produce only 800,000 tons of corn last year. Annual consumption is 2.2 million tons. Before the chaotic and often violent seizures of thousands of white-owned farms in 2000, Zimbabwe was a self-sufficient regional breadbasket and a major exporter of corn.

Maybe they could sell off one of Mugabe's castles in Ireland or perhaps his home in Hong Kong. But where would he park his Rolls Royce?

They know nothing about the agriculture needed to grow corn on the scale needed to feed themselves, so what do they do...... kill the white farmers cutting off the hand that feeds them....

Now they want help

Kind of reminds me of the "minimum wage" battle going on here during a recession..... or a POTUS taking $4M vacations while homeless families freeze in the streets
